The
weeks leading up to the holidays can be very busy. It is easy to get
distracted by things like shopping, cleaning, and prepping for visitors.
These tasks can cause the little things to go unnoticed. Thanksgiving
is just a few days away. This is a
special time to get together with the special people in your life. For
some it may be the only time throughout the year that you see them. It
is important to use this family gathering as an opportunity to look
around and ask yourself a few questions. How
are your parents handling retirement? Are there projects or repairs
that need done around the house? Has their health status declined?
Depending on the answers, now may be the right time to start a
conversation about downsizing some of their possessions or even
relocating to a home that better fits their needs. Starting the
conversation can be difficult, but I can help every step of the way.
I am sure you will have many questions. I work closely with a network of
professionals that can help in a variety of ways.
As life changes, it may become necessary to leave a familiar home and
part with personal belongings in order to downsize and relocate to a
smaller home or retirement community. At Caring Transitions of Chicago Northwest Suburbs,
we help our clients understand the process, evaluate
their options and make informed decisions that suit their best
interests. We are committed to making each client’s experience positive
by minimizing stress and maximizing results.
From sorting through years of memories, working with estate planners,
coordinating movers and real estate agents to designing a functional and
comfortable floor plan, our compassionate and experienced team can be
involved as much or as little as you like. We’ll
serve as your family’s advocate, ensuring your best interests are kept
in mind throughout the process.
November is the perfect time to reflect on the countless blessings in
our lives. As you get together with your loves ones over the
Thanksgiving holiday please give thanks for all they do for you and
others, enjoy your time together, and plan to get together
with them again soon.
